A butcher's sign that said eating his bacon reduced the chance of someone being a suicide bomber has raised a few eyebrows.

A photo posted on social media showed a sign up in the window of Jeff Rapley's butchery, Rapley's Midtown Quality Meats, in Narooma on the NSW South Coast.

'Eating two strips of Rapley's award-winning bacon for breakfast reduces your chance of being a suicide bomber by 100 per cent,' the sign read.

Despite the controversy, Mr Rapley said bacon sales had increased and he was almost out of stock.

But he did not mean to cause any offence with the sign, telling Daily Mail Australia the reaction had 'gotten way out of hand' and he 'didn't mean any offence by it'.

Mr Rapley also told Narooma News: 'I'm definitely not a racist.'

Humor about Mooslims!

"Business is only going to go down hill for them if it hasn't already," one man said.

Wishful thinking by this lib or Muslim.

It was brilliant advertising. ....as long as he keeps his head.

I’ve joked that we should require people wanting to fly on planes to choose between eating a ham sandwich or drinking a glass of wine.

If they were dedicated they would pass that test.......:o) Taqiya (تقیة taqiyyah/taqīyah, literally "fear, caution") is a form of Islamic dissimulation or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny their faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.

Bacon also reduces the odds that you are a rabbi.

Islam is not a race.

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, Mohammed Atta and other 9/11 hijackers drank alcohol, gambled, and did a bunch of other un-Islamic things before their big day.

OK, that’s funny right there. And great marketing, because if I read that sign I’d be in line for his...mmm...bacon...

Recognize his genius for what it is, Rapley is Heroic!

Any friend of his would be a friend of mine...

[proud American in Canada]

I guess the joke bombed. 🙄 .... rolling my eyes at myself. Wasn't there an actual Muslim stand-up comedian who made light fun of Islam? The poor guy is probably dead by now.

[RightGeek]

Using it as bookmarks works well too

Not a speck of false advertising here! Well done and memorable! Sellers of all kinds of products and services can paraphrase this to good effect. You can be sure that CAIR will object to this truth.

Carpet bomb them with bacon bits. ;-)

[Sacajaweau]

Me, too. You have to think for a second....then...lol

Mr. Mojo :" Yep, Mohammed Atta and other 9/11 hijackers drank alcohol, gambled, and did a bunch of other un-Islamic things before their big day."

True !
But touching, or consumption of pork forbids entry into Muslim heaven
which means :" No 72 Virgins ", which defeats the purpose of jihad .

[Mr. Mojo]

Ah yes, good point.

[Rurudyne]

Thus the “joked” aspect.

Of course there’s Sharia wiggle room on the wine.
